Regulation & Co-Regulation - What we're getting wrong & how to get it right with OT Cheri Strecker

Regulation & Co-Regulation - What we're getting wrong & how to get it right with OT Cheri Strecker

What looks like "bad behaviour" is usually a nervous system asking for help. In this episode, we explore what regulation really is, why it's really, really hard for kids to self-regulate, and what adults can do instead. From brain development to fidgets, co-regulation to Disney characters, we cover the real stuff that helps kids feel safe and supported.

"A caregiver's regulation is the very first exposure a child has to what regulation is." - Cheri Strecker, Occupational Therapist from Learn and Grow OT
